Cops Are The Worst

I also cannot for the life of me imagine logging on to this site in May of 2020 to criticize another parent for teaching his white kid about racism too much. Look the fuck around you.

This shit is really hard to explain to my kids. We made my 8 year old cry at the dinner table trying to explain white privilege.

I can't imagine poisoning a child's thinking and making them ashamed of who they are at such a tender age. I mean, just, holy fuck.

I also want to be clear. She wasn't crying out of guilt. She was crying b/c her friend might get treated poorly because he's black.

The next time we decide to ban you, I'll cut the time by 15%.

I'm assuming you told her to stop very promptly and sternly...

Why does acknowledging that you have, by happenstance, benefitted from a systemic privilege necessitate shame? What an insecure and weak world view that must come from.

Slavery... Genocide... I'd say it's pretty shameful what our European ancestors did in this country. This is where our privelege began. It's weak to turn a blind eye to it and not feel some kind of shame. To travel around, all arrogant about it and selfish, like the 'Dont Tread On Me' crowd is doing during CoronApocalypse is the ultimate case / point in how arrogant white privelege can be.

8 years old is a little young, though, to be talking it up, imo.

something tells me the tears were a byproduct of explaining it at all, not talking about in general. Where's my jump to conclusions board?

Explaining...
Talking it up...

Splitting hairs here a little?

no, my point is that you and macphisto are assuming you know what transpired based on two sentences from B.

I have no idea wtf happened, Mr. Assumption.

I'm not assuming, you two are commenting on the age of his son being too early for this talk. You've no idea what the kid is like and what he asked about. So putting your opinion at the end is assuming that at a later age would be any easier... we've got old men in positions of power that still don't understand the issue.

Old women too, you sexist pig.

Women aren't in power, Phat. Good try, though.

You’re right, I wouldn’t call Nancy Pelosi a woman either.

[McParadigm]

No. You’d probably have to call her mistress

[PHATJ]

No. You’d probably have to call her mistress Skeletor

We’re only 4 years since they killed Philando Castile.

It’s past time to demilitarize and de escalate all of the police in the US. No more used military equipment, no more SWAT. We have the National Guard. If it’s that bad call them. No more breaking down doors for drug busts.

The drug war failed. Go back to being constables.

This guy murdered a person on camera and in broad daylight, with people pleading for him to stop, and two other cops with him.

This is a problem for all police forces in the country and it’s not going to stop until we do something about it.

The police are no longer protecting or serving the public, the police are a huge part of the problem and they need to be corrected.


There’s plenty of discussion about good police officers and blue lives, it’s up to them to change this version of the police.

Kids where I teach don't even learn about state history until age 10, so I'm kinda using that as my guide regarding even having the cognitive ability to understand the topic...

Jesus Fucking Christ, dude. Lay off!

calmer than you are...

Congrats... You win the calm award.

I'm proud of what I've started. Shitting wording an all.

Did you finish your coffee though?

[Norah]

No. You’d probably have to call her mistress

i'm glad i'm not the only one that gets strong dominatrix vibes from her

[macphisto]

Lunchtime discussion with my kids covered the difference between peaceful protest and rioting, and how it's counterproductive to burn down your own community cuz you mad. No tears were shed.
